Taking an axe to my gendered icons

alias_sqbrFinally got around to deleting/editing all my gendered icons. I kept telling myself I could just not use them, or not think of them as implying I'm a woman, but it bugged me.
This one used to say "expressing my femininity with an axe". And I still have femininity! That I might like to express with axes! But this version makes me happier. Especially since it's in a more readable font now.
That's me, by the way, many years before I realised I'm non binary, dressed as the bearded dwarf Cheery Littlebottom from Discworld, not that I'm very recognisable under all that hair :) This was at Swancon, and Elizabeth Moon admired and briefly wore the helmet, which I'd painted with pretty pink flowers.
